i’d be curious to see data on how much more of an issue it is now vs years past. i am 46 and remember the last 2 min of a close game being the same way in the 90s.

In the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter, a foul while you’re in the bonus should automatically result in 1 FT plus either side out (if not in the act of shooting) or ²⁄₃ FTs (if fouled while in the act),

The funniest part of nba discourse is that every good team’s fanbase talks about their team this way.

This is the modern nba - if the lead isn’t 20, it will probably be a tie game again before the game’s over. Every team “chokes” leads, and nearly every team is capable of 20+ point comebacks.

Yeah this isn’t college. NBA level with most teams having a 35%+ 3PT shooter you can cut it down to single digits with just a couple hot shots.

OyeCorazon | Nuggets

Its not just that we are missing arguably our 3rd-5th best players in the team, but the minutes that the bench need to fill is massive, and it shows how gassed they are in the 4th, heck even Jokic and Murray are missing shots that they usually make because they are playing so many minutes with this hospital lineup

SloshaPacana

12 | 15 hours ago

Bumping a player and getting a call has always happened, it’s the “was he in a legal guarding position and not impeding the offensive player shit”

I don’t agree with it most of the time because the defender is simply sliding and moving and offensive player bumps and it’s a foul, i mean if we want to get technical it is but it’s just such a bad rule

shangalang69 | Raptors

32 | 15 hours ago

bruce was in legal guarding position though

bane just tried to go straight through him (which should be an offensive foul)

OhWhatsInaWonderball | Nuggets

14 | 15 hours ago

Yeah anyone saying he wasn’t in legal guarding position just baffles me. How do you play defense if you can’t be in the proximity of the defender? Bane fell because he tripped himself. Not because of illegal guarding position. End of discussion.

shangalang69 | Raptors

10 | 15 hours ago

if that was illegal defense by brown, there would be 4000 free throws per game, and the stars in this league would average 50 ppg.

fans cry about players not playing defense but then call for this to be a defensive foul. baffling.

Cannon_plodder

Murray is a great running mate for Jokic in every area but one: He is fucking awful at entry passes

There are so many big, big plays where Murray struggles to get the ball to Jokic at all, which is fucking insane. Too many times when the best player in the world doesn’t get to take a shot because his point guard can’t get it to him

PeopleCallMeSimon

Two calls.

Two calls in less than a minute where the refs called free throws for the Magic and the Nuggets had to time out to get the call turned around to free throws for them instead.

And then immediately they call a foul when Desmond Bane trips over his own feet, and the Nuggets have no challenges left.

Sea-Difficulty-8093

brendanearth

8 | 11 hours ago

Fans won’t like it but Murray got Anthony Black out of position and was supposed to just run and jump into the defender and get free throws. I respect that he said fuck it and went for the contested jumper even if he had the game instantly won if he wanted to foul grift.

Tuned in last minute as a neutral. Refs destroyed the game. First they missed the jump ball hold and Denver had to waste a challenge on an unbelievable missed call. Then Bane does some weird offensive drive with an obvious intention to get a foul and not actually try and legitimately score, happens to step on the defenders foot, and they call a foul. No challenge because the refs did work the previous play.

Nugs blew the inbound, that’s on them, but the foul baiting without even trying to get a legitimate basket is horrible to watch. And the refs reward it.

Terrible product to watch.

Black also fouled him when Murray lost the ball, it was literally all wrist

bubbasnub | Magic

I held my breath on that one. Murray nearly made it and Black avoided a foul to end the game.

Jokić saved Murray’s awful pass, took two guys out of the play & got it back to Murray…so Murray could stop, wait for Black to get back in position, and lose the ball.

That was a bad inbounds, so scrambling started right there and ended in a bad possession. Ofc Murray tried to get the best out of it, but still…

Holy fucking shit refs. That was diabolical.

Worst quarter of basketball I’ve ever seen.

I have a lot of problem with how the Nuggets played today but Bane literally just ran into brown and fell down for that last call and I’m mad about it

Jokic gets mauled. No call. Other team flops, easy whistle. Silver needs to go. Fix the nba

The refs were fucking blind when it came to any call or no-call that would benefit the nuggets.

That was one of the worst officiated games I have ever seen. Almost every single Orlando shot got a call in the 4th.

That team is going absolutely nowhere lmao.

Damn it’s a sad state for the league when you see comments like this on a weekly basis. The shit officiating really makes it hard to enjoy a lot of games

Someone needs to ask Mark Lindsay how much he got paid to get a win for the Magic. What an awful fucking reffed game down the stretch.

He single handedly missed two egregious and obvious fouls that Denver overturned with challenges. Then was the one who blew the whistle on Bane tripping over himself… and Denver couldn’t challenge because they used both on his fuckups in the previous 60 seconds.

Just an incredible refjob tonight. Bravo.

He was on fire tonight. 7 threes. His handle has really improved. Shammgod must be a guard whisperer

We went fom little to not guard productions last year to Bane, Black AND Suggs all scoring like crazy. A lot of drives too.

Anthony Black was awesome. Jokic was good/okay. The refs deserve jail time and Jamal Murray and Jonas lost them the game

So did Jonas just like decide he wasn’t gonna play today or what the fuck happened there? And why is Bruce doing cardio on national tv?

banes freethrows off him tripping is crazy

For all the complaints Nuggets fans have about refs, we were just as frustrated by calls in the last 5 minutes.

Equally terrible for both teams

Paolo is like actually a net negative, it’s kind of crazy. He’s always had flaws, but goddamn, he’s basically just Orlando Ja Morant at this point. There was a play at the end where WCJ could have passed it to a pretty open Paolo, but he instead chose to pass it back to A. Black who was way less open, and you know it’s bad when I feel like that was the smart decision

Okay, Suggs is awesome but should he just be a super 6th man at this point? Anthony Black is having a coming out party this season.

I didn’t watch the game but was Paolo Banchero at least a good defender?

WAZZZZZZZAP | Magic

3 | 15 hours ago

He had a nice stretch defending jokic in the fourth. Couple stops, but he was still getting beat off the dribble and losing his man a little too much for my liking

Denver needed a couple more challenges. And a better inbound play. And someone other than Spencer Jones who can defend drives.

Game turned into of those weird foul fests at the end though. Not much to be done. Denver desperately needs AG and Braun back to clean up their transition offense. So many turnovers this year because they’re sloppy in transition.

Timactor | Raptors

the refs thought they were in Oklahoma tonight

Joefriendg | Magic

So do yall want the refs to call Less fouls or call more pick a lane.

The butthurt nuggets fans got me geeked lmao

The cope is insane. Terrible watch though

Having your MVP go +16 while playing 80% of the minutes and still losing is no bueno

Coldsnowyandmisty

That was a gift to Orlando from the refs.

Jokic was scoring through contact for tough buckets.

And then on the other end Bane just gets a call on basically putting his head down a couple of times in a row. If those were legit fouls then we would see 300 free throws a game. Absolute embarrassment calling this. Especially so late too and multiple times. I thought for a sec that it was SGA out there.

What makes this even more embarrassing is that Denver has to use both their challenges on bad calls so they couldnt challenge the awful “fouls” on bane. AND THIS ALL HAPPENED IN CLUTCH TIME. So refs WENT HARD on deciding who gets the W.

They had absolutely no answer to Jokic and were losing their minutes heavily until the refs decided to go whistle mode for Orlando.

Refs are naturally gonna affect results but dam do they often make it so that one team really has to win by 15 to win by 1.

The Orlando Magic (18-14) defeat the Denver Nuggets (22-9), 127-126.
